rally post to come later, for now? this
Feb. 27th, 2011 01:54 amI will absolutely write about the day's rally, not to mention last night's meeting with two friends completely out of the blue, but for now, I'll just share a colossally dumb move on my part.
When you're keyed up from an amazing day, trying to wind down before dawn, and you stumble across a fic with a character you're a fan of that few other people seem to remember? Do not frakking read it until you've gotten some frickin' sleep, to quote a fellow protester from Thursday. It. will. not. help. matters.
Shard it, shard it, shard it. I've just read such a fic, and ow ow ow! He was fine in the end, but it's the middle and the after-effects left unrelated that are bugging me. Mostly the middle. Now I'm wide awake again, and all I can think is oh, Morgan.
If you know who I mean, you saw a previous post about the same character sticking in my head. That, or you just know me. Timelost captain, you did not deserve that. Even if you and Janeway (yes, Janeway!) got away safely in the end, and you were both healing at the story's conclusion. Heck, Janeway didn't deserve that. Bloody telepathic savagery... yes, that still disturbs me mightily. Bloody inorganic infection, bloody violence, bloody questioning under torture. Ugh ugh ugh owie!
Oh, Morgan. At least you and Janeway got away clean, and when you were under your own control, you were unmistakably yourself. But oh, jeez.
I'm going away now. Just had to get that written. .. Gah.
Second note to self: Give Sariel an ep or two in the near future. I feel bad for neglecting her, now. RL's been compelling, what can I say? But I owe her.
